Alyko Naxos

Alyko is a sandy beach break located on the western coast of Naxos island in the Aegean Sea. The spot faces west toward open water with a gently sloping sandy bottom that extends into deeper water. The beach is backed by pine forests and agricultural land, creating a scenic but occasionally turbulent wind corridor. Conditions are generally light, with an average of 9.5 knots and notably low wind reliability at 29.3%, making it inconsistent for regular kitesurfing sessions. Water temperatures average 19.4°C with modest wave energy (0.68m). North winds provide the most favorable side-shore conditions. The spot suits beginners due to shallow water, sandy bottom, and relatively small waves, though the low wind frequency means sessions are unreliable. Kiters should monitor wind patterns carefully and be prepared for flat spells. The area has limited facilities but offers a scenic setting with access to local villages and amenities.
